Was he the wrong man at the right time, or the right man at the wrong time? Summer no longer cared as his kisses lit up a past that seemed the greatest present of all... Book

Sven Hedin was a Swedish explorer who devoted a number of years to exploring Turkestan and the Gobi Desert. "Jehol the City of emperors is truly a dead city. The founders of the Manchu Dynasty K'ang Hai and Ch'ien Lung created it as a place for hunting military exercises and that religious devotion which they knew so well how to combine with a certain Machiavellianism in mundane affairs. Now its glories have almost departed and it is doomed to complete ruin in the space of a few years."
